Can't sleep again?
Honey, your father and I have tried to give you
as much space as you've needed, but we're worried.
You're not sleeping. You're barely eating.
We don't want to push you, but it's been three weeks.
Will you please go see Katara?
All right... I'll go.
You're going to get through this.
I love you so much.
The poison did a lot of internal damage.
Can you fix it?
I can help guide your healing process,
but whether you get better or not is up to you.
[splashing]
I know what it's like to go through a traumatic experience,
and I promise you, if you dedicate yourself
to getting better,
you'll recover stronger than ever.
That's what I want, more than anything.
Then try something for me.
Concentrate on your big toe.
Visualize it moving. Breathe.
[gasping] Did you see that? It worked.
The mind can be a powerful ally, or your greatest enemy.
Now, I want you to try taking a step.
[groaning]
[gasping]
[screaming]
[groaning]
You're okay.
Your body thinks it is still in danger,
but you're safe here.
Use your mind to overcome the pain.
Try again.
I'm done for today.
"Dear Korra, I miss you.
It's not the same in Republic City without you.
How are you feeling? Things are going well here.
I just got a big contract to help redesign
the city's infrastructure.
So I'll be keeping pretty busy for a while."
"Hey, Korra.
So, I'm not very good at writing letters.
It's 2:15 in the afternoon. Weather is fair.
Chance of snow showers later today.
But enough joking around. I hope you're doing well.
Me, I'm back on the beat.
Beifong has me staking out the Red Monsoon hideout.
You won't believe what's going down."
"My dearest Avatar Korra,
though several fortnight's have passed since your departure
to convalesce in the homeland of your tribesmen."
"I feel our friendship knows neither time, nor distance."
"You will be most pleased to learn
that I found gainful employment with Sir Varrick
and the Lady Kuvira."
"I set off on the mar with some trepidation,
but I am eager to offer any aid I can
in stabilizing the Earth Kingdom."
Whenever you're ready.
[sighing] What's the point?
We've been at this for almost six months
and I can barely take a couple of steps without collapsing.
I know you're frustrated, but-
Of course I'm frustrated!
A crazy man poisoned me, and now I can't dress myself,
or cook for myself or- or do anything for myself.
And this whole time
my friends have been off helping the world
while I'm stuck with you, and you can't even heal me.
That came out wrong.
It's all right.
Let your anger and frustration flow like water.
I am trying to understand why this happened to me.
But nothing makes any sense. I'm tired, Katara.
I'm so tired.
Korra, I know you feel alone right now.
But you're not the first Avatar
who's had to overcome great suffering.
Can you imagine how much pain Aang felt when he learned
that his entire culture was taken from him?
That must've been so awful.
But he never let it destroy his spirit.
He chose to find meaning in his suffering,
and eventually... found peace.
And what am I going to find if I get through this?
I don't know.
But won't it be interesting to find out?
Close your eyes,
visualize yourself walking over to Naga.
[whimpering]
- Did you see it? - Yes.
Now... take that first step.
